I don't think this is correct, a patch was added to the 0.40 release
to solve the problem of this thread: freezing on SUSE because of an
old rpm version. In this case you want to know when you get a bug
report that it is 0.40 including some patches: versions before
14.guru.suse100 like 12.guru.suse100 contains the problem.

I understand. Maybe an option to indicate you only want info for installed
versions (that will be a lot quicker).
